“I feel that it had a huge impact on our pupils in all areas of maths and has raised attainment. They are now a lot more confident in reasoning and explaining their maths. Therefore, showing a greater depth of understanding. They are able to work more systematically. The pupils have developed their questioning ability.”

“This course has been superb and has had a huge impact beyond my classroom as I have shared ideas with my colleagues. I genuinely feel privileged to have attended.”

We have 40 places available. Places will be allocated on a first, come first serve basis.

The NCETM and Maths Hubs are recruiting a third wave of teachers to join the secondary Mastery Specialists programme. This is part of a significant expansion of teaching for mastery work by Maths Hubs in secondary schools across England.

Following the broad format of preceding cohorts, the teachers will complete a three-year professional development programme, with these objectives:

first year (2018-2019): developing mastery approaches in their own classroom

second year (2019-2020): developing mastery approaches across their school’s maths department

third year (2020-2021): supporting two other schools’ maths departments to introduce teaching for mastery.

The teachers will attend five residential training events, run by the NCETM and Maths Hubs, spread across the first two years, the first taking place in the 2018 autumn term. In between, the teachers will work with colleagues from their local Maths Hub and, on an ongoing basis in an online community, share experiences and materials with colleagues from the entire cohort.

Funding: each teacher’s school receives £3000 per year for the first two years, to cover release time of 15 days per year. In the third year, their schools will receive £350 per day for 15 days’ work supporting departments in other schools, making a total of £5250.

Each Maths Hub is looking to recruit three or four teachers in this cohort.

NW Maths Hub 3 wants to extend and strengthen its work supporting schools in Liverpool and Cheshire. We are therefore now seeking to recruit an Assistant Maths Hub Lead (AMHL) for NW Maths Hub 3 to join our established leadership and management team, initially for 2018/19, after which it will be reviewed.

The Assistant Maths Hub Lead will work as part of the Maths Hub Leadership and Management Team, normally for the equivalent of one day/week, with a particular focus on Liverpool and Cheshire areas.

The AMHL’s school or college will receive a grant of £14,000 from the Maths Hub. This equates to approx. 1- 1 ½ days per week out of school.

For additional information, full guidance on criteria applied to this role and what the role involves please see the application form and briefing:

In 2018-19, all Maths Hubs will be running primary mathematics Teaching for Mastery Work Groups led by Mastery Specialists. This programme is for schools who have a commitment to developing a teaching for mastery approach. Although the participation involves two teachers attending events outside of the school it is expected that these two teachers lead development across the whole school. Each Maths Hub is now seeking to recruit schools for Work Groups, each involving six or seven schools. This document gives information about the Work Groups and how schools can apply to be involved. The closing date for application is Friday 11th May at 4pm. Please email all applications to NW Maths Hub 3- lisa.bradshaw@three-saints.org.uk

High quality support for teacher professional development for the lead teachers, facilitated by the Mastery Specialist

Support for the head teacher in addressing leadership issues related to teaching for mastery from the Mastery Specialist and the Maths Hub’s leadership

Opportunity to work closely with other schools also developing teaching for mastery

No charge for participation and a grant of £1000 to help subsidise teacher release time
